twins!
well...i have a twin sister and we do pretty much everything together. she helps me a lot when it comes to school. and im grateful for that. we both would like to have everyone of our classes together in the upcoming school year. our parents don't feel we should do that. i need help convincing my parents to let us talk with the principle about it.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I'm on the fence.
I do agree with your parents on one hand, but I also agree with you on one hand.
I agree with your parents because high school teaches you a lot about yourself, and really helps you to grow as a person. It helps you find your individuality and you can't find that when you're still latched on to your twin. You should be your own person. Don't depend on each other for everything.
Then again I understand where you're coming from as well. You want to be with your twin because you guys are comfortable together. You want to be with what you're familiar with.
However, you do not need your parents permission to talk with the principle or the counselor or whomever assigns your classes to you. You can do that on your own if you're not happy with your schedule. I used to do that. You take the classes you wanna take. Your parents have no control over that. But I do suggest that you get a few classes together. Don't get all your classes together. Get a few together, and then get the rest so that you're on your own.
Getting all of your classes together can prevent you from growing up and making new friends. Get a few classes without your twin. You'll be fine. :)

I agree with your parents on this one, to tell you the truth.
You need to grow up and learn to be an individual, and that's part of what high school is all about. I mean, sure, it's mainly about academics, but it's also about growing up and learning who you are. If you stick with your sister forever, how are you going to get by when you go to college? Or when you get a job? Or when the two of you have different friends?
Why not try only taking a few of your classes together? This way, you can still be together, but you'll also be apart for some of the time. I think it would be a really good idea for you to do that instead :)
